title: The optokinetic test and the ENG test battery.
abstract: The importance of including optokinetic nystagmus as part of a more comprehensive visual test battery in ENG testing is discussed. Useful clinical information may be obtained which not only may confirm the presence of peripheral disease, but also may reveal evidence of disturbed central vestibular function. The technique and some of the diagnostic possibilities are described.
